September Update: Day Rates Now Available

By aradenAnnouncement

ConFABulous 2026 is two weeks away:  October 2-4, 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Suites MSP Airport – Mall of America, 3 Appletree Square in Bloomington, MN.

Our programming space is all on the hotel’s second floor, which is on the same level as the top floor of the parking garage and accessibility friendly.

Day rates are now up!

Can’t make it the whole weekend? Single day memberships are available! Rates are $25/30/20 for Friday/Saturday/Sunday respectively. The full 3-day membership is $60, and on top of the game room and programming includes access to the snacks at the con-suite and catered food (because who doesn’t like a nice “free” meal).

  • Hotel – If you want to stay late gaming or – shudder – start early, our room rates are still only $129, and you can book your room now.
  • Getting there/Parking – As a reminder, you can park for free whether you have a room at the hotel or not and can also get to the hotel via light rail (and a very short walk). You’ll be close to the Mall of America and the MSP airport.
  • Games – Our game room is sponsored again this year by The Source Comics and Games and Tower Games. We also have a games library, so you’ll have access to a large selection of board and card games, and friendly players willing to take you on whether you’re a beginner or an expert. If you would like to request a game contact us at gaming@ConFABulous.org
  • Role-Playing Games –This year we have two rooms dedicated to role-playing games. If you would like to play in a game or run a role-playing game contact us at programming@ConFABulous.org
  • Panels – We have a slate of panels of general interest to the speculative fiction, gaming, and LGTBQA community.  We are still looking for panelists, so to volunteer to be on panels please contact us at programming@ConFABulous.org
  • COVID/Masking – Masks are NOT required, but are strongly encouraged. Please see our website for details.

We hope to see you at the con on October 2-4, 2026.
